‘I didn’t believe it was possible to arrive in the top 10’ – Syahrin

Hafizh Syahrin made history at the Malaysian Grand Prix, becoming the first Malaysian to compete in this premier-class GP, a achievement enriched with a top ten after he left last place on the grid.

At the end of the race the rider was thrilled and excited to be able to show service to his fans in his country:

– It’s just unbelievable! First of all, I want to say thank you very much to my team, because they always believe in me and give me great motivation. Yesterday has been a disaster for us, but we made up for it. In the starting grid, I saw my father and was just emotional and had to hug him. I want to thank everybody that came here. To arrive in the top 10 for my home GP was my target, but to be honest, I didn’t believe it was possible. But in the end, we did it, which is incredible. I want to thank everybody; I love my family and my fans. I’m so happy!
